Maker Faire Orlando Can’t Happen Without Makers!
We need people willing to share the things they create and their passion for making. Join us November 7 & 8 for our public days, and on November 6 for Field Trip Day, to help inspire thousands in our community.

How Exhibits Are Selected
Maker Faire Orlando is a curated event. We select exhibits based on proposal completeness, content, diversity, items sold, and other factors. Applications are reviewed and approved in batches — not in the order received — and we’ll contact you at the email you provide if we need more information or once a decision is made. We’re an all-volunteer team and appreciate your patience as we process hundreds of applications. We can’t fit every application, so highlight your exhibit with great photos, video, and description.
